Tu Xiupei's shriek attracted the attention of the slave girl and servant who were on night duty, and they worriedly rushed over to ask her what had happened.
When she heard their voices outside, Tu Xiupei shuddered and quickly climbed onto the bed. Her back faced the door, and her body still trembled. She tried her best to suppress the fear in her voice as she said, "I'm alright. Go and rest. No matter what sounds you hear, don't come out unless I call for you."
Nobody, absolutely nobody, could see her face like this. The servants were the worst at keeping secrets. Once one of them saw how terrifying she looked, rumors of her disfigurement were sure to spread. Big Brother Jin was still in South Peace City, and these rumors would reach his ears.
She couldn't let anybody see her!
The slave girl and servant hesitated after hearing Tu Xiupei's instructions, then went back to their quarters.
"That was Second Miss's voice, right?"
